DIY Rustic X Bookshelf (part of Basement Makeover)
I have been SO BUSY lately! It’s entirely my own fault – the girls went camping with their Grandparents the other week and I set my sights on making over my basement… problem is, I didn’t break it down into bite-sized steps like “sand and paint trim”, then “paint walls” then “DIY rustic x bookshelf”. Nope, […]
DIY Cedar Patio Table
The Rogue Engineer put up a photo on Instagram the other day of a DIY cedar patio table that he had made out of scrap wood after a deck build. As soon as I saw it, I wanted one. The X-brace legs and angled feet – gorgeous! But, and like 36% of the population in North […]

DIY Decorative Trays

I was worried this project was […]
